Chapter 2: Overview
2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
Scalers work to convert and scale a type of video/audio signal to another type
of video/audio signal. This enables you to use differently formatted video/audio
signals on differently formatted display screens. Scaling allows for changing
resolutions to increase quality or improve compatibility.
The HDMI to Video Scaler and Converter (AVSC-HDMI-VIDEO) converts digital
HDMI to Component/CVBS with either digital audio (S/PDIF) or analog stereo
audio. With this module, HDMI based devices such as Blu-ray disc players, PS3,
DVD players, camcorders, or set-top boxes can connect to your PC LCD and PC
speakers. The device also enables users to connect full digital video and audio to
a CVBS monitor and S/PDIF equipped audio receiver and amplifier for maximum
compatibility with your home theater devices.
